After two years, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán sat in front of Tucker Carlson’s camera once again. The former TV host had previously also filmed a documentary about Hungary.
‘SOMETHING IS IN THE MAKING— A summer interview with a true heavyweight’, Prime Minister Orbán commented in his latest post.
The former Fox News host filmed a documentary about Hungary in 2021 and reported from Budapest for an entire week, including the conducting of an interview with the Hungarian Prime Minister at the Carmelite Monastery. At that time, the PM spoke about illegal immigration, European politics, and Hungarian–American relations. He stated that the Hungarian government does not want to undermine the bilateral relationship between the United States and Hungary, which is ‘fundamentally very good.’ ‘Everything is fine except politics. The problem arises when liberals are in power in Washington,’ Viktor explained in that interview.
The former TV host also appeared at the National Athletics Centre, and during his stay, he conducted an interview with Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Serbia. This evening, Tuesday 22 August, he will also participate in the ‘MCC Feszt After’ event at the Millenáris.
